Doug,

Run that "Whitworth" kilometers by me again.

To my knowledge, the "Whitworth" anomaly refers to wrench sizes, where the
British insisted theat the wrench size should refer to the bolt diameter, not
the diameter acreoss the hex flats.  There are also differences in screw pitch
and depth.  There is also the "Imperial Gallon", unrelated to Whitworth.  I have
never heard of a Whitworth Kilometer.  Where did you get that information?
Steve
